GENTLE - (General Networked Training and Learning Environment)

This paper describes a web based training system which has been used as a working prototype to assist teachers in lecturing since fall 1997. The main goal of this system is to provide an integrated environment for both students and trainers. Lecturers can use it to create, maintain and offer courses and also administrate student affairs. Rich communication facilities extend the advantages the system provides to students. Apart from university areas the system is also designed for usage in companies to train its employees.
